39 - I Wish

<Spell Beach and Farmhouse>

"Pretty." Joshua remarked sitting by the window of the hall of the farmhouse. It was evening and the beautiful view of the sea was visible.

There was a mild crowd around the place but he and Seokmin were sitting at a secluded place.

"Is there something special today?" Joshua asked while his eyes travelled through the flowers that were decorated all around the hall.

"Yes." Seokmin chuckled, "But let's eat first."

Food arrived as they enjoyed their meal together while joking around. Their giggles echoed in the hall as they loved being with each other.

"Now, let's take a walk around the sea." Seokmin suggested.

It was late evening as the sky was getting dark, decorated by the moon and stars.

"Here." Seokmin showed the older, the way where there was no crowd but huge and beautiful lighting.

"Everything is so pretty here." Joshua remarked.

"Hyung, may I ask something?" Seokmin looked at him.

"Sure." Joshua smiled while walking along.

"How do you feel when I'm with you?" Seokmin asked.

"Relieved." Joshua answered without any hesitation, "You're very special to me, Seokmin. Whenever I'm with you, I feel content and happy."

"I'm glad." Seokmin chuckled, "There's something, I wanted to tell you."

"Yeah, go on."

"There's this person I really love." Seokmin inhaled a deep breath.

"Who?"

"You."

Both of them halted as a soft breeze brushed past them.

Seokmin tucked Joshua's hair behind his earlobe and held his hand, "I love you hyung. With my heart and soul. From the day I laid my eyes on you to this day, I see you as an extraordinary and perfect person. From your smile to your beautiful heart, I love evrything about you."

Joshua's eyes were widened. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. It took him some time to register everything in his mind as he wasn't expecting this at all.

"I don't know how you feel hyung." Seokmin continued, "But I'll respect your decision at all costs."

"Uh- Seokmin." Joshua looked down, "I- I need some time. It's so abrubt- I- I'm sorry, I failed to be the perfect person you thought I was."

Seokmin stared him for a while as he gulped the lump in his throat.

"I'm really sorry." Joshua didn't dare to look up.

"Don't be, hyung." Seokmin lifted his chin up, "Be it a yes or a no, you'll always be the perfect person in my eyes. And why are you sorry? You don't have to be."

"I broke your hear-"

"Shh!" Seokmin placed his finger on his lips, "Please don't feel bad. I don't love you for your yes or no. I love you because I just do, hyung. You need time? Take as much as you want to. I promise I won't bring this up until you yourself ask me to."

Joshua stared at him blankly. People like him, exist? Really?

Joshua slowly held the younger's hands, "I'm really sorry, Seokmin. I just don't know what to say. I want to stay true to you and your emotions. I don't want to say anything that I don't mean, right now."

"It's okay hyung, I understand. And I'm happy that you're not making any false commitment." Seokmin gently held his cheeks, "Please don't feel bad for asking for some time. Just remember one thing, I'll gladly accept any of your decision.
